Eylaria immediately got out of bed, relieved to see that the clothes she was wearing last night were still perfectly attached. The 30-year-old woman stepped towards the door, not forgetting that she looked glassy and tidied up her appearance first. His head looked at the atmosphere outside his room. As he expected, Arlo took him there last night, in fact, Arlo and an older man were sitting opposite him in the living room.
“Yaa, we can use that way. Of course we see if we can get the most out of it. If only 60%, we switch to Plan B...,” Arlo is filing his opinion firmly, the man who is about 50 years old in front of him nods his head in agreement with what Arlo said.
“Come out if you're up..” Excited Arlo made Eylaria speechless as she intended to slowly close the door of her room.
Eylaria's eyes met the eyes of the two men who also saw her from the living room, not far from where she was, looking at her in confusion. Eylaria stepped in doubt and shame, her head bowing towards Arlo.
“Who is Arlo? And what is...., can you explain the current situation?” Asked the man before Arlo calmly but demanded an answer. Her eyes looked at Eylaria from top to bottom.
“She's a good friend of Nicole, Pa, last night she got drunk and Nicole handed it to me. Her name is Ey..,” Arlo forgot the woman's name.
“I Eylaria Om.. Sorry if previously annoying and disrespectful.” Eylaria replied that she was not feeling well especially when she found out that the old man was Papa Arlo.
“You are not...,” The question is truncated because Arlo and Eylaria have answered it quickly and simultaneously.
“Not..,”
“No..,”
“Unlike Papa thought...,” Arlo continued again, making the wise man before him smile little, he believed his second child would not carelessly fuck the woman he met.
“OK, Papa has also finished your same discussion. Papa go first.. You guys, talk..” Pamit Papa Arlo deliberately gave space to Arlo and Eylaria.
Eylaria felt her heart beat many times faster, she panicked and was afraid of getting into trouble with the Arlo family, thankfully, her father did not seem to think strangely of her.
“We really aren't we?” The question was immediately thrown boldly from Eylaria, she just wanted to be sure.
“No....,” Replied Arlo firmly, making Eylaria sigh in relief.
“Can't you tell the difference if yes and no?” Asked Arlo frowned.
“What?? We really aren't we??” Eylaria asked again, she felt panicked and glared at Arlo wanting a definite answer.
“No, no.., heii calm yourself... I did not touch you at all..,”.
“I'm not afraid you're touching me, but I'm afraid I'm touching you.” Feels Eylaria is sitting on the couch where Papa Arlo was sitting.
There's a sense of relief knowing nothing happened between her and Arlo. After all, Arlo wouldn't want to be with a woman like her.
“How can I come with you? Am I the one who whines at you?” Ask Eylaria.
“No..., Nicole pushed you to me and wanted you to come home with me.”
“Arghh, Nicoleee, just watch him, I'll make a calculation with him. Deliberately getting me drunk and forcing you to take me, what a shame.”
“Your best friend is crazy.
“Yeah, but he never did it to me. For whatever reason, he really wanted to match you with me. I think you know it too..” Said Eylaria honestly, yes, she does not like to talk stale and also does not want Arlo to misunderstand her.
Arlo was impressed by the honesty of the woman in front of him, since the beginning Eylaria never once tried to approach him like other women who tried to tease him. If other women really hope to be slept with by him, Eylaria actually looks to expect nothing from him.
“You want to reply to him?”
“What? Reply Nicole? If I knew how, I would have done it.” Elyaria replied furious. Arlo chuckled softly in response, this lady is cute.
“I'll be home now. Thank you for all your help and sorry to trouble you. You helped me a lot...,” Pamit Elyaria sincerely.
“It’s Ok..” Reply Arlo relaxed.
“I will take you down...,” Continue Arlo when will open the door of his apartment.
“No need...,” Eylaria replied quickly.
“Why?” Ask Arlo confused.
“I can go down by myself...,” Eylaria's answer made Arlo smile a little then he took out his apartment card, making the woman before him understand in silence if he could only get down from there if there was access.
Arlo delivers Eylaria to the apartment lobby, some residents passing by, especially women are seen watching them. Eylaria tidied her hair awkwardly, was her appearance that bad?
“You just go up, thanks for driving me..” Eylaria said it was not nice because Arlo would walk with him to the front of the lobby to find a taxi.
“Hmm... I changed my mind, I'll take you home.., Come on...” Arlo's reply made Eylaria widen her eyes.
“Heii.. no need, I can go home by myself.” Reply Eylaria looks not like.
“Ayooo,” Invite Arlo to withdraw Eylaria's hand without permission.
Actually from the beginning Nicole brought the two of them closer, Arlo wondered what was special about Eylaria, because in appearance she was an ordinary woman with a sweet face. But since their first meeting yesterday, the attitude of Eylaria who seemed to reject and stay away from her, made Arlo more curious about her best friend cousin.
Eylaria crossed her arms in Arlo's luxury car. Honestly he was amazed by the cool car, but he did not expect Arlo would drive him home.
“Are you not busy?” Eylaria asked staring confusedly at Arlo.
“I'm busy, but it's Sunday.”
“Do you not like me?” Asked Arlo astonished, frowning his forehead.
“No, I mean I don't hate you. But, really you don't have to bother.”
“Hmm, then, let's just say I'm dropping you off because you're a good friend of Nicole.” Reply Arlo looking for a reason.
“What Nicole told you?” Eylaria asked suspiciously.
“No....,” Reply Arlo quickly and firmly.
“You don't have to be nice to me just because I'm a good friend of Nicole's. I won't complain to her and say anything bad about you, take it easy.” It looks like Eylaria misunderstood Arlo's good intentions.
“Well..., you haven't eaten since morning right? It's also 11 noon, would you like to stop by?” Asked Arlo who briefly saw his watch, he felt he needed a place and time to talk more with this woman beside him.
“As far as you are...” Eylaria replied upset and unconcerned, but her stomach was hungry. Eylaria thought for a moment, it seems true said people, rich people like to act and make arbitrary decisions.
Eylaria sat down with a manyun even though Arlo took her to a 4-star restaurant. If usually women will be excited by such luxury and service, the woman is actually upset and grumbled in the heart.
“What do you want to order?” Arlo asked politely, sitting in the chair in front of him, a waitress who led them in gave a menu book and waited beside their table.
“Serah, steak if any..,” Reply Eylaria origin without looking at menu.
“Beef or chicken?”
“Beef and orange juice..,” Then again then suddenly stood up and left Arlo along with the waitress was there without permission, looking disrespectful, but Eylaria did not care.
Eylaria walked to the toilet and upon arrival there she let out a completely annoyed face that she had been holding back since.
“What the hell is he? So forced! My heart would pull my hand and bring me here. Do I look that easy? You arrogant rich man!” Eylaria in the heart.
Eylaria stood in front of the glass sink, looking at her face that was still pale and messy, moreover she had not bathed since last night, her clothes were already tangled.
“What does that mean? Take me to a restaurant when I look like this?? Want to embarrass me heh?” Then he pulled out his hair with his finger, patted a little powder on his face and put a lipstick on his lips, now he looks more alive.
Arlo waits patiently at his desk, knowing that Eylaria is upset with him, but strangely enjoys it. If all this time he was always adored wherever he stepped and was, this time he could meet a woman who blatantly disliked him. He was curious, Eylaria was just prestige or really disliked it.
Arlo smiled slightly as he saw Eylaria walking towards their table, the woman's face looking fresher with her thin makeup polish. Eylaria chose to be quiet, not asking or talking to Arlo at all, she was still upset. He was busy replying to Dave's message and his face turned frantic when a call came on his phone screen.
“Hallo Dave...,” Reply Eylaria tried to calm down.
“Ahh yaa, I'm having lunch.”
“Yaa, still with Nicole and there's her cousin too.., hmm, yeah, well, byebye...,” Eylaria saw Arlo while saying the word “his cousin”, who was also watching him.
“Why? What do you want to say?” Eylaria asked staring fiercely at Arlo.
The man gave a small smile, it seemed like he was used to Eylaria's toughness.
“You lied to her, there is no Nicole here.”
“Then, what's your problem? That's none of your business.”
“Why not be honest?”
“Are you crazy? I have to say if I'm staying at a guy's house and having lunch with the guy. What will your boyfriend think? Would he believe me if I said nothing happened, despite the fact that nothing happened?” There was an annoyed tone as Eylaria expressed her opinion.
“But I'm Nicole's cousin.”
“And you are still a man, although you will not be interested in me.”
“Know where I'm not interested in you?”
Eylaria laughed cynically, she was getting fed up with that handsome man before her. Eylaria of course also likes handsome men, but Arlo's classmate, of course, is far from her reach, let alone having Dave already, she's unthinkable to look for anything else.
“Young Mr. Arlo, I know enough myself how beautiful and nice I am. A man as great and handsome as you, could not possibly be interested in an ordinary woman like me.”
“Excuse me.., the new” Arlo will open his mouth interrupting Eylaria's speech as waitress approaches to deliver food.
Only the clink of cutlery was heard from table number 5. Arlo occasionally noticed Eylaria who was eating voraciously, obviously the woman was starving, deservedly fierce. Arlo did not continue his opinion of Eylaria, saying it was too early to express his judgment about his cousin's friend.
